Key takeaways
Visiting an eye clinic in Anyang as a foreign patient: language support varies by clinic, is not recorded in the data below, and has to be confirmed by phone or on the clinic's own booking page. When you call, ask directly whether an English-speaking doctor or an interpreter is available on the day you want to visit, and whether you can book by phone or online. Bring your passport or alien registration card, your current glasses or contact lens prescription, and any previous eye records or test results.
The collected data alone cannot determine which clinic performs lens implantation surgery well, nor can it compare surgical volumes. What does stand out in terms of review volume and public ratings is 밝음나눔안과의원 안양 (Balgeunnanum Eye Clinic, Anyang) and 서울수안과의원 (Seoulsu Eye Clinic). Balgeunnanum Eye Clinic, Anyang has 1,568 Naver reviews and 520 Kakao reviews, with a Kakao rating of 3.9 and a Google rating of 4.5. Seoulsu Eye Clinic has 2,610 Naver reviews and a supplied Google rating of 4.8, but its Google review count is listed as 0, so that rating should be read with caution. Neither clinic's supplied data says whether it performs lens implantation surgery, how many procedures it has carried out, or who the relevant medical staff are. Treat any "eye clinic in Anyang" shortlist as a starting point for comparison only, and confirm availability and suitability directly with the clinic.
The five selected clinics are given an average Kakao Map rating of 3.3. Reviews are a reference for what a visit was like; they do not guarantee surgical outcomes or quality of care.
How this was analyzed
This article is based on data collected and analyzed from 9,292 Naver Place visitor reviews, 866 Kakao Map reviews, and Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (HIRA) registration records. Review counts and ratings for each clinic use the values recorded in the supplied clinic data, and blog reviews were excluded from the total review counts. The totals below are the sum of Naver, Kakao, and Google review counts. In the HIRA records, the only clinic with a confirmed ophthalmologist count is 성모봄안과의원 (Seongmobom Eye Clinic), with one specialist; no information is available for the others. Quoted reviews have had emoji and decorative characters removed from the original text, and the wording follows the supplied visitor reviews.
서울수안과의원 (Seoulsu Eye Clinic)
서울수안과의원 (Seoulsu Eye Clinic) has 2,610 Naver reviews, the highest Naver review count in this comparison. The supplied data shows a Google rating of 4.8, but the Google review count is listed as 0, so that rating alone is a weak basis for judging user feedback. Kakao reviews are also 0. No HIRA ophthalmologist count is available. Visitor reviews describe experiences with pediatric care, explanations, and staff service.
"I came in worried about my child's strabismus and the doctor explained everything kindly. The interior is clean and the nurses are friendly too."
"I've been coming since they opened because of dry eye. There is also a doctor who specializes in children, so we were seen at around 100 days old as well."
The location is given as 234 m from Beomgye Station Exit 7. The supplied data lists only the clinic name for the address, so it is better to confirm the exact street address before visiting. Hours are Mon–Thu 09:00–18:00, Fri 09:00–20:00, Sat 09:00–16:00, and Sun 09:00–13:00. Friday is listed as open until 20:00; lunch hours are not in the supplied data.
Booking, parking, a waiting area, Wi-Fi, and separate men's and women's restrooms are listed as amenities. Confirm the booking method and parking conditions by phone before you visit. Whether the clinic performs lens implantation surgery, what pre-surgery tests it includes, and the cost cannot be confirmed from the data, so ask directly at the consultation. The only cost-related reference available is general information that lens implantation may be an option for very high myopia or thin corneas; this does not mean the clinic offers that surgery.
성모봄안과의원 (Seongmobom Eye Clinic)
성모봄안과의원 (Seongmobom Eye Clinic) is listed with 1,451 Naver reviews, 607 blog reviews, 206 Kakao reviews, and 17 Google reviews. The review total is 1,674 on a Naver, Kakao, and Google basis, and no rating is given in the supplied data. HIRA registration records list one ophthalmologist and one ultrasound imaging device. Visitor reviews cover Dream Lens (orthokeratology) care, general eye exams, explanations, and staff service. These are individual experiences and are not evidence of lens implantation capability.
"My older child wears Dream Lenses and we come for regular check-ups. The doctor takes careful care of us."
"I came because of my child's Dream Lenses and ended up having a dry eye test myself. They were kind and the diagnosis was accurate, which I liked."
The address is 4F, Room 405, 214 Simin-daero, Dongan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, listed as 404 m from Beomgye Station Exit 1. Hours are Mon–Wed 09:00–18:00, Thu and Sat 09:00–14:00, Fri 09:00–19:00, and Sun 09:00–13:00. Thursday and Saturday close at 14:00 and Friday at 19:00. No lunch hours are provided, so confirm before you go.
No amenity or parking details are given in the supplied data. Ask by phone whether booking is possible, how registration works, and where parking is and what it costs. The data does not show whether the clinic provides lens implantation consultations or surgery, which medical staff would be in charge, or what the pre-surgery tests involve. When discussing cost, it is practical to ask whether the quote is for both eyes and whether the lens type, tests, and consultation fees are included.
태안과의원 (Tae Eye Clinic)
태안과의원 (Tae Eye Clinic) is listed with 1,327 Naver reviews and 140 Kakao reviews, a Kakao rating of 2.7, and a Google rating of 2.8. The Naver, Kakao, and Google review total is 1,467. No ophthalmologist count is confirmed in the HIRA data. Visitor reviews include positive experiences with explanations and staff service, alongside experiences of long waits. Such assessments depend on when each person visited and their situation, and do not apply to every visit.
"Every time I visit they are kind and explain things in detail, so I keep coming back without thinking twice."
"I've been coming to this clinic for almost 20 years. They are always kind and good. But these days it has become so busy that the wait is long."
The address is 305 Jeil Sangga, 64 Pyeongchon-daero 223beon-gil, Dongan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do. It is listed as 60 m from Beomgye Station Exit 1, so it is close to the station. Hours are Mon–Fri 09:00–18:00 and Sat 09:00–16:00; no Sunday hours are provided. Lunch hours are also not listed, so ask before visiting.
Booking, a waiting area, Wi-Fi, parking, and separate men's and women's restrooms are listed as amenities. Reviews do mention long waits, so it is worth confirming whether booking is available and how long the wait is expected to be. Whether the clinic performs lens implantation surgery and its surgical volume cannot be confirmed from the supplied data. If you want a surgery consultation, start by asking whether the procedure is offered and how to book tests and a consultation, and confirm whether prices are for both eyes.
밝음나눔안과의원 안양 (Balgeunnanum Eye Clinic, Anyang)
밝음나눔안과의원 안양 (Balgeunnanum Eye Clinic, Anyang) is listed with 1,568 Naver reviews, 520 Kakao reviews, and 0 Google reviews, with a Kakao rating of 3.9 and a Google rating of 4.5. The review total is 2,088. The Google rating was supplied alongside a Google review count of 0, so it should be treated with caution. No HIRA ophthalmologist count is available. Reviews describe kind explanations, tests and facilities, and parking, but they are not direct assessments of lens implantation surgery.
"They explain things kindly and in detail, which I like. There is a lot of equipment and it is up to date."
"It is clean, parking is available, and the staff are kind, which I like. I got my tests done and left."
The address is 7F and 8F, Geumsang Tower, 307 Anyang-ro, Manan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, listed as 365 m from Anyang Station Exit 1. Hours are Tue–Fri 09:00–19:00 and Sat 09:00–15:30. Whether the clinic is open on Monday and Sunday, and its lunch hours, are not listed in the data. The late-opening days are given as Tuesday through Friday, but confirm same-day hours by phone.
Booking, parking, Wi-Fi, and separate men's and women's restrooms are listed as amenities. It is best to confirm the parking location, whether parking is free, and the booking method before you visit. Whether the clinic performs lens implantation surgery, what pre-surgery tests it uses, and who the relevant medical staff are cannot be confirmed from the supplied data. At the consultation, ask whether the surgery is suitable for you given your degree of myopia or your corneal thickness, and whether you can be told how it compares with other options.
서울안과의원 (Seoul Eye Clinic)
서울안과의원 (Seoul Eye Clinic) is listed with 2,336 Naver reviews, 1,002 blog reviews, and 90 Google reviews. The Naver, Kakao, and Google review total is 2,426, and no Kakao reviews, Kakao rating, or Google rating is available. No ophthalmologist count is confirmed in the HIRA data either. The supplied visitor reviews describe very different experiences with staff service and waiting, so review volume alone cannot settle what a visit will be like.
"Both the staff and the doctor were unfriendly, even though I visited during a quiet time. I was not actually seen, just given a prescription, and ended up going back and forth between the pharmacy and the clinic."
"My mother had surgery and asked several questions about the paperwork; they answered kindly and even spoke to the insurance company on her behalf."
No specific address or access information beyond the clinic name is given in the supplied data, so confirm before visiting. Hours are Mon–Fri 09:30–18:00 and Sat 09:30–16:00. Sunday hours and lunch hours are not confirmed. Reviews include frustration with the waiting process, so it is practical to ask how the queue works and what the expected wait is when you check in.
Amenity and parking information is also absent from the supplied data. Confirm the address, parking availability, booking method, and same-day registration by phone. There are visitor reviews about surgery, but they cannot by themselves confirm whether the clinic performs lens implantation or what kind of surgery was done. If you want a lens implantation consultation, check directly whether the procedure is currently offered and where the consultation and testing take place.

Checklist for choosing a lens implantation clinic
- Whether the surgery is offered — confirm directly whether the clinic currently performs lens implantation surgery. This data does not include that per clinic.
- Suitability assessment — ask whether the surgery is an option for your condition, such as very high myopia or thin corneas, and discuss it against other methods.
- Tests and their sequence — ask which tests are done before surgery and how much time the tests and consultation take.
- Which staff are in charge — confirm which medical staff handle the consultation and the surgery, and how the day-of-surgery process works.
- Lens type — ask whether it is a posterior chamber ICL or a toric ICL for astigmatism, which one is proposed for you, and why.
- What the price covers — confirm whether a quoted amount is for both eyes and whether tests, consultation, and post-surgery care are included.
- Aftercare — confirm the follow-up visit schedule, how to contact the clinic, and where to call if something seems wrong.
- Explanation and question time — check that you were told about limits, risks, and alternatives, not just the expected benefits.
- Booking, parking, and waiting — confirm how to book a consultation, the parking conditions, and expected wait times in advance; if you need an English-speaking consultation, ask about language support at the same time.
Warning signs
- A clinic that rushes toward surgery without tests or a suitability discussion — if your eye condition and options were not explained well enough, ask more questions.
- Unclear cost structure or lens type — it is better to request written information on whether the price is for both eyes and what is included.
- Thin aftercare guidance — confirm the follow-up schedule and how to make contact if symptoms seem wrong.
- Judging surgical results from ratings or review counts alone — reviews of general visits do not prove suitability for, or outcomes of, lens implantation surgery.
Frequently asked questions
How should I choose a lens implantation clinic in Anyang?
The supplied data cannot recommend a particular clinic as the best place for surgery. Use the comparison above as a starting point for looking at reviews, location, and published clinic information, and ask each clinic whether it performs lens implantation and what the testing and consultation process involves.
Do any of these five clinics perform lens implantation surgery?
Whether each clinic performs the surgery is not in the collected data. You need to call the clinic or check its official website to confirm current availability and how to book a consultation.
How much does lens implantation surgery cost?
As a reference, 2026 price ranges are KRW 4–6 million for posterior chamber ICL in both eyes and KRW 4.5–7 million for toric ICL for astigmatism in both eyes. Reference information also notes that discounts tend to be small because the lens itself accounts for much of the cost. Confirm actual clinic prices and what they include directly.
When is lens implantation an option?
The supplied reference information says it may be an option for very high myopia or thin corneas. Individual suitability has to be confirmed through testing and a consultation with a doctor, and it does not apply to everyone.
Does the clinic with the most reviews also do the best surgery?
That cannot be assumed. Review counts only show how many online reviews have been posted; they do not show whether a clinic performs lens implantation or what the outcomes were. Confirm surgery-related information with the clinic separately.
Do any of these clinics offer English-speaking service, and how can I check?
The collected data contains no information about language support at any of the five clinics, so none of them can be confirmed here as offering English-speaking service. Call the clinic or check its website or booking page and ask whether a doctor or interpreter who can consult in English is available on the day you plan to visit. If you need an interpreter, also ask whether you are expected to bring your own.
Final thoughts
When you look for a lens implantation clinic in Anyang, check not only reviews and accessibility but also whether the surgery is actually performed, whether it suits you, the lens type, what the price covers, and the aftercare plan. This data does not confirm any clinic's lens implantation volume or outcomes. Reviews and clinic information are reference material for choosing a clinic and are no substitute for a diagnosis or a decision about surgery. Medical decisions should be made in consultation with an ophthalmologist.
